Land Rover Range Rover Velar
The Range Rover Velar last year received minor changes on the outside and more significant ones inside. The lineup currently includes three engine options, but the base four-cylinder unit is not ideally suited to handle the weight of this SUV (around 1,900 kg). The alternative is a turbocharged six-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology producing either 335 or 395 horsepower. The Range Rover Velar focuses on refinement and comfort but suffers from a poor reputation for reliability.
